Rezension von booq_cafe4,5 ⭐️ I’ve never read a book like this. Everything is described in files, interviews, chats and surveillance footage. That makes it really challenging to read, but is also very unique and fascinating. At first I was concerned how the authors would create real emotions this way, but somehow they did. It just took a little time. ♡ In the first half of the book I had a hard time orienting myself in the setting and getting to know the characters. Ezra seemed like a nice and funny guy from the beginning (someone I would definitely never have dumped). Kady on the other hand was more shallow and I could really grasp her personality. That is until the end, when I really really loved her, but see for yourselves. ♡ The writing was full of sarcastic remarks and very entertaining, but I expected nothing less. The plot needed some time to develop so I only got invested in the story halfway through the book. But then it blew me away! Sour think you know where this is going (at least kind of), because that’s how things are done in Sci-Fi books and then… everything goes sideways. And nothing turns out as you expected it to. ♡ I loved the ending, though I still anticipated some of the twist (but there are enough left to keep me on the edge of my seat). I find it most impressing that I really had to cry at one scene - I would have never thought this possible while simply reading through files. But it is not that simple. ♡ I am looking forward to reading the sequel, because I am still missing some explanations.
Rezension von MariewithWingsI needed some time at the beginning, but the ending is amazing.
Rezension von OMG!!! I'm not sure I can even find the right words for this Awesomeness that calls itself 'Illuminae'. Reading it was one hell of a ride and I was just not able to put it down. The story is gripping, suspenseful and unique, especially in the way it is told. One of the things why I liked it so much. Sometimes it had me staring in disbelief at the pages and it got me laughing and crying and simply every emotion inbetween. Normally I'm not such a big fan of Sci-Fi stories, but this one is sooooo good. Definitely one of the best books I've read this year ❤️
Rezension von Eileen Dierner I honestly don't know what to think about this book. It was a really exhausting read. I liked things, and I didn't like things. The revelation at the end was pretty good and some pages around the middle, but the beginning was complicated and I throughout the book I just couldn't get warm with Ezra. I liked Kady though.<br/>Maybe I will listen to the audiobooks of the sequels someday, but I won't buy the physical book again.
